    If you enjoy business management simulations, then we recommend purchasing a ticket for Planet Coaster: Console Edition. While the coaster creation controls can be unwieldy, Frontier’s done a generally decent job of mapping a very complicated title to the DualSense controller. The title allows for a ton of creativity, but time-strapped entrepreneurs can also have fun with the many pre-made assets available. It’s the kind of game where, once you begin building a park, you’re basically pledging the next 30 hours of your life to doing it properly – but once you start seeing those profits rolling, you may find it difficult to quit.

I bought the game on a whim and after I started playing I was instantly hooked, and haven’t wanted to play anything else. The game looks stunning on my 65 inch LG CX OLED tv: native 4K, HDR, 60 fps. I always have a smile on my face while playing. The simulation is incredibly deep and satisfying. I can’t recommend this game highly enough.… Full Review »

As a long fan of the genre, nothing quite hit the same level of love that I had for Sim Theme Park. This game takes that game and pushes it beyond anything I could have imagined. The depth and creation that you have at your finger tips is incredible. All I can say is this is the best Coaster Sim game I have played on any console, and it’s not even close. Runs smooth as butter for me and looks amazing on PS5. Please don’t hesitate on buying it if you love these type of games.… Full Review »
